Nelly Furtado is back with Loose, and it's a winner
When last we saw Nelly Furtado, she was celebrating her new baby with an album of multi-culti earth mama tunes that were well-intentioned, but not, well, you know, entertaining. Unlike her peppy, girl-power debut, Whoa, Nelly!, her follow-up, Folklore (both DreamWorks), did not catch on.Now, Furtado is back -- with an album titled Loose (Geffen) and a seductive single called "Promiscuous." (Hmm, what exactly is she trying to say?)
Double-entendres aside, Loose is like a master's class in how to turn around a career.
Furtado took her time to write a bunch of great, current-sounding songs she believed in. She hooked up with Timbaland, a great producer who "gets" her and surrounds the songs with hot beats. And now, she -- not to mention everyone around her -- is ready to work her butt off to promote it.
